Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Author's Note: Hello readers, this is my second story (technically third since I deleted the second one). This story is basically the same story as „The Nights of Hope" only I will try to change it up a bit and make the story much better. The Japanese school system (which I'm using) is different from the United States and European ones. The school desks are made so two people can sit next to each other on the same desk. I'll also try to make the amount of grammar errors as minimal as possible. I'll keep the pet. And so, without further ado, let's start.
Summary: Sawada Tsunayoshi, 14 years old is an average high school boy. Except his grades are awful so he is a bit worse than an average high school boy.
The story focuses on Tsuna and how he's going to live through his high school days. Of course his days aren't as normal as they would be for normal students, but would you really read any of this if it would be just go to school go to bed, eat a lil bit and then go to the toilet to finish your day? Probably not.
And that's it for the summary.
Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn and never will.
Chanted Nights
Chapter 1: The Awakening
April 5th, Time: 8:20 AM, Location: Namimori Middle School – Classroom II-A
Third Person's Point Of View
It was a relaxing spring day for the Namimori students, an average, boring and utterly annoying day. It was mainly annoying because of the sheer fact that it's a school day and you have to be in class instead of walking outside and listening to the birds chirping or smelling the nice spring day, or watching how a student who is late for class is running to school and barely getting away from Hibari Kyoya.
That student is of course, Sawada Tsunayoshi, the student who is capable of being the worst in everything - classes, sports, friends and so on.
He kept running until he was inside the school and right in front of the door that leads into his classroom. He sighed, opened the door and walked in.
Everyone in class looked who it could be, but soon they just smirked and returned to looking at their teacher or their textbooks. Most of the students were probably expecting that Sawada would come in class late. Sawada bowed and apologized, but got yelled at anyway, then he was told to go sit on his chair.
He walked towards his seat, at the same time eyeing Sasagawa Kyoko. He heard how the teacher started teaching the students again. He listened at first, while walking to his seat (which took like 4 seconds), but when he sat down on his seat he didn't even bother to look at the teacher. He just started staring outside the window like he always did.
The day went by fast for Sawada, nothing new or crazy happened to him. It was just another regular day for him. Of course, his regular days are the days where he gets picked on, his lunchbox gets taken away from him, he gets bad grades and of course the days where he thinks to himself how pathetic it is that he doesn't have any real friends. But right now he wasn't thinking about that, right now he was walking home.
Tsuna's Point Of View
I can't believe I got an F again, aghh that's so dumb! How can I get an F at the beginning of the semester! I'm going to get scolded by mom again today, damn.. I kept thinking of what an awful yet normal day it had been, but soon I lightened up a bit, because I was finally at my house. I opened the door, walked in and said.
"I'm home mom."
"Ara, welcome home Tsu-kun. How was school?" Mom asked.
"It was like any other day." I answered back without much detail. "What are you doing right n-" I was cut off.
"So you got an F," She sighed and continued on, "When are you going to get your stuff together Tsuna. I really worry about you. It's the beginning of a new semester and it should be like a "new start" for you." She sighed again. I walked in to the kitchen. She then put up a gentler face and pointed towards the table that had some rice, meatballs and sauce there. "Eat a bit, you must be tired."
Tired of watching out of the window all day? I'll say. I sat down and started eating.
"I'm thinking of hiring a tutor, you know, for you, because of what your grades have been for the past years." Mom said.
I nearly choked on my food when mom said that out loud. "What?! I don't need a tutor! I can manage it by myself, without anyone helping me! At all!"
"Yes, but haven't you already said the same thing before? That you can manage by yourself I mean, you're still getting bad grades and you definitely haven't gotten better in pretty much... anything, so I'm really considering to get you a tutor." She said while smiling.
No way... a tutor? That's like the worst punishment in the world. Why would you do that to me mom?! I'll show you. Today I'm going to study for as long as it takes to get everything in my head. I finished my food and went upstairs to my messy room. I really should clean my room sometimes... I sat down and picked out my workbooks and textbooks and my copybook.
"Ten to the fifteen percent of 500 times x plus –x, if x is -6, divide the answer with y times x. Figure out what is y..." I mumbled out loud the exercise. WHAT IS THIS?! I threw the textbook to the corner of my room. "I think it's best if I start with history instead..." I mumbled and took out my history books and opened the correct page then I took out the question paper I had to write down the answers.
"97 QUESTIONS?!" I yelled out loud. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I collapsed on my desk and suddenly started hating the number 97.
"Tsuna?" I heard mom say downstairs, "is everything alright?"
"Yes, I just fell off the chair..." I said and heard how my mom went back to the kitchen.
This is going to take a lot of time... I thought and felt how my head started to hurt because of the sheer thought of learning everything. Well I'm still going to study, I'm not giving up!
April 6th, Time: 07:00 AM, Location: Namimori – Tsunas house
"Tsuna, wake up." Mom told me. I didn't even budge. "Tsuna, what was the point of studying for so long, if you're not even going to wake up." My mom said and shook me a bit.
"Hmmmthhthahaiiedd..." I mumbled.
"What?"
"Hmm too thired..." I mumbled again.
"I got you a tutor." As soon as I heard that sentence I raised up as fast as humanly possible and quickly shouted.
"WHAT?! WHY?! I STUDIED!"
"Ara it actually worked." Mom said.
"What?" Oh... Damn it, I really want to sleep more.
"Don't you fall asleep again!" Mom said and shook me a little bit more.
"I'm not, I'm going to change my clothes." I said.
"Oh, well I have some food ready downstairs. Come eat when you're done." She said and left.
Okay. I'll come down when I'm ready. I put the bed covers back over myself.
"Get up now!" My mom shouted from the door and I opened my eyes again and sighed. Damn...
April 6th, Time: 07:45 AM, Location: Namimori – Namimori Middle school
I opened the door to my classroom and sat down on my seat that was at the end of the classroom and next to a window. I saw my classmates walking in and also sitting on their desks or chairs and making small talk with each other. Then I saw how a group of people who usually bully me opened the door and walked in. I sighed expecting the worst, and sure enough it came.
They were walking towards me, "Lend us some cash." One of them said towards me.
"Hieee... no way, I don't have any.." I said and stood up ready to sprint to the door. But luckily the teacher came in and noticed us.
"You are in the wrong classroom, get out and Sawada, sit down!" I sighed in relief and sat back down on my seat. "As you all know, today, a transfer student is joining our class, I expect you all to treat her well and accept her as a friend as soon as possible, I don't want to hear of any bullying!" I didn't know anything, well I'm not even told these things, plus to be honest I don't even care about the new transfer student, and I don't really listen to teacher either...
"She should be arriving in the middle of the class." The teacher said. "Now, for the time being, a quiz."
Everyone sighed. Well,I studied so I know at least a little. But we were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "Well that was fast. You students are in luck, since the new student came, the quiz is off." "At least it better be the transfer student." She mumbled. Everyone sighed again, but this time they sighed in relief. "Come in."
The door slid open and in walked a girl with brown hair shaped into a ponytail, she looked like a happy-go type of person. I couldn't really decipher much else about what else she looked like.
"Hello! Haru's name is Miura Haru, nice to meet you!" Those were the first words that girl spoke to the class. Usually the teacher would scowl at the student because USUALLY the teacher introduces the new student to the others instead of her saying everything on her own. But she didn't say anything mean to her. She speaks in third person. I noted in my head.
"Welcome Haru, this is the new class you will be attending, please feel free to sit anywhere you like." Then the teacher whispered something in her ear. The girl nodded and went to sit down two seats in front of me. I looked at the teacher and saw how she was a little shocked for some reason. What's wrong with the teacher? I didn't bother myself too much with it. Instead I started doing the thing I always did in class – look out of the window.
April 6th, Time: 10:35 AM, Location: Namimori – Namimori Middle school
The teacher ended the lesson and we were free to do whatever we wanted. Most of the students started eating or went somewhere to eat, some stayed in class to chat and some were getting to know the new girl better. Of course most of them were boys, she "politely" told them to leave. I, however, was one of the students who went to eat somewhere else. I went on to the roof, sat down next to the railing and started eating.
Soon I heard how the door to the roof opened and in walked the bullies that wanted my money in class before.
"I knew we would find you here, sulking and eating." I'm not sulking... just eating. "I'm pretty sure you owe us some money." The same guy had said.
"Hieee! I don't have any with me!" I said as quickly as possible.
"Then you wouldn't mind us searching around your stuff right?" One of them smirked and pointed towards my bag. I didn't answer, mostly because I was afraid to.
"You guys again. The roof is off limits to you guys, get out!" I heard a teacher say behind the bullies.
I sighed again. Am I getting lucky or something...?
"What about Dame-Tsuna?" One of them said.
"Sawada can stay, he doesn't have any problems except for bad grades." I really am lucky.
The bullies left again while giving me the 'you're dead' look.
"Sawada you should stay out of trouble, it would be for the best if you don't get involved with the thugs here." Teacher, I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not trying to get involved with thugs. The thugs are trying to get involved with me.
"Of course, teacher. Thank you." I said and the teacher left. I sighed. I'm really lucky that I have at least one teacher at my side defending me.
Nothing much else happened that day. I went home, ate a little bit, studied a little and went to bed. The next day was when things started to turn a bit weird. I was still greeted by the students who said "morning Dame-Tsuna" or "yo Dame-Tsuna", and when I was at the roof I was yet again confronted by the bullies, only this time they took my lunch. I sighed as I saw the bullies leave while laughing at their accomplishment.
"Is Sawada-kun okay?" I heard someone behind me say. I looked behind myself and saw the transfer student looking at me.
I was quite shocked and a bit scared to see her there on the roof. "Hiee!" I shouted by accident and quickly stood up. "Sorry, I'll leave now!" And I left the roof as quickly as possible, I didn't give her a chance to say anything to me. I went back to my classroom. I sighed and sat down on my chair. Damn... I really wish I would have started eating earlier... now I can't eat before I go home and that will take at least 2 hours if not even more since the classes haven't ended.
I saw from the corner of my eye that Haru had also walked back into the classroom, but she didn't look at me, instead she sat down on her chair and started chatting with her deskmate, which happened to be Kurokawa Hana. Why didn't I even notice Haru on the roof, was she sitting somewhere I couldn't see her? That's probably it.
"Did you see the movie last night..." I heard Hana ask her. I didn't really care much about what they were talking so I just lay down with my head on my hands and waited for the class to start.
When the classes had ended I was astonished to find that I had received yet another F even though I studied yesterday. "Damn it! I really need to stop getting Fs, otherwise my mom will really get a tutor for me." I told myself out loud. Nobody seemed to notice that I had said something out loud so I didn't make myself look worse than I already was. Man how I wish I could just rewind time sometimes.
I was deep in thought and didn't even notice that I was already outside the school and nearing the gate of the school. I saw how the transfer student was leaning against the wall of the gate and it seemed like she was waiting for somebody, or texting to somebody or... just staring at her phone. When she heard my footsteps, she looked up towards me and smiled.
"Hello!" She said.
Why would she say hello to me? Doesn't she kno- ahh, that must be it, she doesn't know yet that I'm called Dame-Tsuna for a reason.
"Hi." I said nervously and made a nervous laughter. I kept walking and didn't really bother to stop walking as she probably didn't enjoy my presence.
"Is Tsuna-san heading home?" She asked me.
"Y-yea ahahaha..." I said and kept walking.
"Haru'll come with Tsuna-san, of course that depends on what direction Tsuna-san is walking to..." Wait what..? "What direction are you going?" She asked right away.
"W-w-wait w-why do you want t-to go home with me?" I asked and stopped in my tracks. "Haven't you heard my nickname?" I added.
"If Haru remembers correctly, then it was something Lame-Tsuna Haru thinks... right, Haru wants to ask why everyone calls Tsuna-kun that." THAT'S WRONG! IT'S NOT LAME TSUNA! It's just... Dame... Tsuna... I guess it doesn't really matter which one it is, now does it...
"It's Dame-Tsuna..." I muttered and laughed nervously. "And people call me that because I'm the worst in everything, like P.E and classes and so on. So now you know, so bye." I said and started walking again. It didn't seem like she was following me, nor did I hear her say anything. So I just kept walking like nothing had happened and sighed. There goes another person who I might have had a shot with as a friend. Oh well, I already knew that she wouldn't want to be my friend so no harm done I guess.
I kept walking and didn't pay much attention to what was going on around me, so when I stepped on something soft, then I didn't at first notice anything, but I did feel something right after I took my leg away, and that something was someone's teeth and they hurt quite a bit.
"AAAAAAAAAHH!" I yelled and saw that a dog was biting my leg. OWWWWW! I quickly raised my leg and the dog let go, and right when it did, I started running as fast as I could. Luckily the dog didn't follow me, when I finally reached my home I was really tired and sweating. I need a bath...
I stepped inside and shouted. "I'm home!"
"Welcome home Tsu-kun, how was school."
"Normal. I'm going to go take a bath." I said quickly and went upstairs to get some clean clothes and a bath towel.
April 6th, Time: 17:10 PM, Location: Namimori – Tsunas Home
A knock came from the corridor. "Are we expecting somebody?" I asked mom, she nodded and went to open the door. I sighed and started to go back upstairs. I wonder who the guest is.
I peeked through the door frame and saw my mom talking to some kind of child. I thought we were expecting someone, there's no way we're expecting an infant. So what's going on?
Well, no need to get myself involved with this, I'm sure mom will handle this. I went upstairs and into my bedroom. I think I'll take a small nap. I went on my bed and after putting my head on the pillow, I fell asleep.
April 6th, Time: 20:07 PM, Location: Namimori – Tsunas House
"...e...p...na." Someone was talking next to me, but I was too tired to really care, so I just turned in my covers and kept sleeping. And the next second someone hit me on my head very hard.
"Owwwww!" I said and held my head tightly "Mom why did you hit me!" I half shouted half cried.
"Dame-Tsuna I'm not your mom." Someone said. It was a child's voice and he knew my nickname. What the hell...
I opened my eyes and saw a kid with a suit on and a green chameleon on his shoulder. Not only that, but he was talking without effort, like a native Japanese speaker.
"Who are you?" I asked while rubbing my head. And what did he hit me with; I can't see anything besides books. "Why did you hit me?"
"Because you didn't wake up the first time I tried to wake you up. And I'm Reborn, your new tutor. And you are the Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family."
There was a silence between us, one where in I was staring at him in disbelief and then I got that it was a joke and I started to laugh. "The Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family? I'm pretty sure I'm Tsuna, and in no way associated with the mafia. And you being my tutor hahaha... that's pre-" I was cut off by the kid hitting me on the head again.
"Oww... why did you hit me?"
"I felt like it, now get up. You're supposed to start studying." There's no way a kid is actually telling me what to do...
"I think you need to go back to kindergar-" I was yet again cut off by the kid hitting me. Why does he keep hitting me... I held my head tightly again and rubbed the part the kid had hit me on.
"That hurts..." I stood up and went to my desk and took out my items so I could study. Thanks for hitting me so hard; that totally helps with studying.
"Start with math." The kid said next to me.
"EEEEEH?! NO WAY! I suck at math, I'll study that later." I said and took out my biology books.
"Nope, you'll start with the thing you're worst at. And we're going to study using the first secret Vongola training method."
"What's that?"
"Whenever you answer a question wrong, you'll be getting tasered." The kid said with a smirk.
"T-tasered? You don't even have anything to tase me with ahaha..." I said and laughed nervously.
"So the first questi-" The kid started.
"N-NO WAIT! I'm uhh... I haven't studied at all yet." The kid smirked again and went on to a hammock that was hanging from the ceiling. "Wait when did that hammock appear in my room? I've never had one..."
"Go back to studying Dame-Tsuna." The kid said and started sleeping. I sighed. What the hell is this... a random kid appears out of nowhere and says he is my tutor and will be making me the tenth boss of a family. Not only that but he apparently now lives in my room, and if that wasn't bad enough then he also threatens me with a made-up taser. I'll ask mom about it tomorrow, I think she's asleep right now anyway.
April 7th, Time: 07:48 AM, Location: Namimori – Namimori Middle school
Damn.. I'm so tired... I had to wake up at 6:50 and not only that, but I was also woken up by being hit by a snowball, and I don't even know where the snowball came from. It's the beginning of April not the beginning of January. I had bags under my eyes and I was just slumped in my chair and keeping my head on my hands.
"Good morning!" I heard someone very cheerful say. How can someone be so cheerful so early in the morning.
I look up and immediately froze. It was Sasagawa Kyoko. I can't believe Kyoko is talking to me.
"G-good morning Kyoko-chan." What do I say now? Obviously the conversation has to keep going. I was about to say something dumb, but Kyoko was already pulled away by Hana, and they started talking about something. I guess the conversation DOESN'T have to keep going.
I sighed and slumped back down onto my chair, feeling more down than I was before. And then I heard another greeting from a different person.
"Good morning!" Yet again it was someone really cheerful. And yet again, I stuttered like before and said.
"G-good morning Haru."
"Why did Tsuna-kun walk away like that yesterday, that was mean!" Haru said and took a seat next to me which in turn I stiffened up a little.
"W-well I knew that you didn't really want to talk to me or hang out with me so I left." And I guess I knew that you wouldn't even want to pretend to want to be my friend. She gasped and said.
"Hahi? Tsuna-kun thought Haru was a mean person? That's awful."
"What? N-n-no no, I didn't think that, I just assumed that you didn't want to be near me because of what I'm like and how other people would treat you if you were to hang out with me, plus I really don't see a reason for you to like being near me, since I really am not interesting at all." I said and laughed nervously while placing my hand on the back of my neck. Why is she even next to me right now? It's not normal for other girls to just go and start talking to boys they don't like or like. I took a quick glance around the room and saw how some boys were giving looks at Haru and me. Crap, I think I need to tell her to leave so she wouldn't get bullied and so that I wouldn't get bullied either.
"H-hey I-I think you should g-go now... ahahaha..." I said and tried to show a sign with my eyes that the other boys were looking. She looked at the boys that were looking at us for a second. The boys quickly started to talk to one another, like they were trying to cover up who they were just staring at.
She didn't move at all, instead she started talking to me again. "And now Tsuna-kun is telling Haru to go away as well, that's really mean, but Haru won't leave. Instead she will sit here the whole class!" What?! No! If she sits here, then Kyoko will think that I like Haru. Damn it!
"No no no, uhh... tell you what, after school you can insult me as much as you want if you leave now, alright?" Please say yes.
Haru sighs and stands up. "I'll see you after class then." She says and leaves my desk.
I sighed as well and slumped yet a third time in my seat and put my head on my hands. What is up with the new transfer student...
At the corner of my eye I saw how Yamamoto Takeshi, sat down one seat away from mine, he had a wide grin on his face and was happy like always. I turned my head towards him, he must have noticed that because he also looked at me. He grinned towards me and waved a hand towards me. Why is everyone being nice to me. I waved my hand, even though I would never do that, but I guess I was too tired to know what I was doing.
April 7th, Time: 10:35 AM, Location: Namimori – Namimori Middle school
I took my food and started leaving the class to go to the roof, but I was stopped by Yamamoto.
"Hieee! I'm sorry but I'm not giving my food." I tried to run away, he let go of my arm, but because of that I fell and landed into the corridor.
"Sorry! Are you alright? Why would you think I would want your food?" Yamamoto said and ran next to me.
"Wait you don't want my food? And yes I'm fine." I said and got up. "What did you want from me then? If it's money I le-"
"I don't need anything from you. Well I guess I do," he swung his hand over my shoulders and added "Do you think we could study together after school today? I thought, that since we both have awful grades, then we should study together, you know the saying, "Two awfuls make up an excellent," hahaha." He said.
THERE IS NO SUCH SAYING! I thought, but then said.
"Uuhhh... I guess we can study together, but where do we study?"
"Ummm... how about my house. My dad makes amazing fish food, you have to try it." Wait is that the real reason you're inviting me, so I could try out your shop's food...
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to study together. What time after school?"
"Like, 4 PM. I'll see you then, bye!" Yamamoto said and left in a hurry. Why did he become so tense just now? And why is everyone so nice right now? Maybe I'm just lucky today or something. I went up to the roof. When I was about to go to my usual spot – near the railing – I saw Haru already there, she was looking at me.
"Hieeee! Sorry! Sorry! I didn't know you were already here, I'll go now!" I said and was about to turn around.
"Tsuna-kun doesn't have to go, anyone can be on the roof, and Haru certainly doesn't mind company. Of course Haru prefers girls over boys." She mumbled something like "Especially this class's boys." But then she said. "But Haru doesn't mind Tsuna-kun because he's basically the only one who is actually smart. Well not smart, but one who doesn't chase girls all day long." If only you knew that I really like Kyoko-chan...
"T-thanks.. I guess, ahaha.." I sat down and opened my lunchbox. "Can I ask you something?" I asked after a bit of time passed.
"Go ahead."
"Why are you talking with me right now? You know what kind of a pers-" I was cut off by her.
"Haru's going to stop you right there, Haru knows what you're trying to say. And the reason why I'm still talking to you, is because Haru wants to be friends with Tsuna-kun, there really isn't anything else to it." Haru said and laughed.
I was silent for a moment then said. "Thanks Haru." She just smiled and kept eating.
"Hey I'm sorry, but I can't meet up with you after school so you could insult me. I have to go study with Yamamoto." I said.
"That's alright, Haru has to go shopping with Kyoko-san and Hana-san anyway."
I was in the middle of drinking a soda, so when I heard that she said she's going shopping with Kyoko and Hana I instantly choked on it and started coughing.
"Is Tsuna-kun alright?" Haru asked.
"Totally, the drink is just so good." I said and coughed a little more. "How good are you in studying?" I asked.
"No idea, does Tsuna-kun need help?"
"N-no ahaha... I was just wondering."
When we finished eating we left the rooftop, I excused myself, saying that I had to go to the bathroom. I wonder if she's serious about wanting to be my friend. I thought when I came out of the bathroom.
April 7th, Time: 15:35 PM, Location: Namimori – Namimori Middle school
The classes ended, I took my things, left the school grounds and stopped at the gate of the school when I heard running from behind me, it was Haru.
"Is Tsuna-san waiting for Yamamoto?" She asked. Oh right, I need to wait for him here.
"Ahahaha... I forgot that I had to wait for him... But thanks for reminding me." I said and leaned against the wall of the gate.
"Well... Haru has to go with Kyoko and Hana shopping now, they are already waiting for me there. But Haru'll see you tomorrow Tsuna-san."
"Bye Haru." I said and watched as how the girl waved at me and left. Maybe my luck is about to change...
To Be Continued!
Author's Note: I'm happy to say that the first chapter for Chanted Nights is done, I plan on deleting the Nights of Hope story, because to me it just seemed ridiculous. And I guess when I'll reread this story then this'll also be ridiculous. Anyway I don't know when I'll do the next chapter. So please be patient. Criticism is something I hope I get, because I would want to make this story perfect. So please point out any mistakes you might find.. And so good day or night to you all.
